Wales Vs. England, Euro 2012 Qualifiers: Substitutions From Both Sides, Game Still 2-0

We’ve got substitutions from both benches. Gary Speed hauls off Andy King and Steve Morrison for Ched Evans and David Vaughan, which doesn’t appear to be too much of a tactical shift. For Fabio Capello, it’s James Milner for Wayne Rooney, who hasn’t had a great game in front of the goal but has been more than happy to help out in midfield. James Milner won’t have much going on in front of goal but will be even more enthusiastic in helping out on defence.

Meanwhile Joe Ledley is booked for dissent after saying a naughty word to the referee, joining Andrew Crofts in the book - amazingly Craig Bellamy did not for saying the exact same thing but louder several minutes later. Perhaps Olegario Benquerenca was simply too scared to book the notoriously volcanic striker. In truth it’s been better from Wales this half, with a couple of opportunities falling to their forward players, but with England 2-0 and not doing much but coasting, it’s not a big shock that the home side are seeing more of the ball.
